Honoring servicemembers is going high tech this Veterans Day with the help of new online resources and smartphone apps.

A new smartphone app helps you explore the World War II Memorial, sharing war stories as part of a virtual tour and offering a database to pull information up on those killed. The World War Two Memorial App is on iTunes & Google Play.

There's a new website dedicated to veterans from ancestry.com called The Honor Wall.

The site, based on more than 20 million records and personal memories uploaded by loved ones, honors every service member who served from current wars all the way back to the Revolutionary War. The Honor Wall documents letters home, photos and awards of veterans at www.FOLD3.com/wall.

Militarybenefits.info lists discounts, sales and everything free for vets and their families, ranging from free Brazilian steakhouse dinners to haircuts and oil changes. They've even posted a meal guide of deals for not only veterans, but also active duty and retired military.

Many offers require a valid military ID or proof of military service.
